A WISE POLICY.

The Dignified, Manly Course of the Adj
ministration In Dealing with Great Brit
ain in the Fishery Troubles.
The President transmitted to the
House of Representatives a volumin-
Gus document, containing all the cor
respondence that has passed between
the United States and Great Britain in
regard to the rights of American fish
ermen in the British North American
waters. The contents Of this document
lead us to three conclusions: 1. That
the local Canadian authorities have
repeatedly, and, in some instances,
outrageously violated the rights Sc
cured to these fishermen, under the
treaty of 1918, between the United
States and Great Britain, and that they
show no disposition to discontinue this
system of aggression against these
rights, claiming the authority of local
law for their proceedings. 2. That
Secretary Bayard has, by no means,
been as Indifferent and dilatory in deal
ing with this question as he is repre-
sented to have been by partisan news
papers, that are politically hostile to
him and the Administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland; but that, on the con-
trary, he has repeatedly and earnestly
protested against these outrages, and
respectfully, but firmly, called the at
tention of the British Government
to them. 3. That the British Gov
eminent has been exceedingly tardy
and apologize in dealing with this sub
ject, and hass4gactically, as yet, done
nothing by way Of stopping and re-
dressing these wrongs. The President
recommends Congress to give this sub.
ject its early attention, and raises the
question whether some additional leg.
islation on our part is not called for.
Secretary Bayard suggests that proper
steps should be taken by Congress to
allow proofs to be made of all losses
and injuries to our fishermen, as the
basis OF a future demand against Great
Britain for indemnity. The American
people desire to maintain amicable re
lations with Great Britain; but they are
| able to defend, and will defend, thu
treaty rights of their fishermen in Ca
madam waters, and will hold Great Brit
ain responsible for and violation O
these rights.-N. Y. Independent.

Care Fer the Aged.
rom the Youths Companion.

rom the Youths Companion.
Virgi's renowned hero, Eneas, re.
ceived his familiar epithet of "pious"
from his loving care OF his old father,
Anchises. In all times and climes q
like care has ever been regarded as 6
prime demand upon iilIal piety. One
point ut which such care may be ex.
srcised is in guarding he health Of our
aged parents, and thus protracting
their life and rendering it worth pro-
tracing. The generation now near.
ing its close had its birth and growth
when this whole matter was little I'M
derstood even by the medical profess
sion.
All knew that it was o common
thing for the old to be suddenly struck
down with apoplexy, or hurried to
their graves by an attack OF pneumo-
mia, or bronchitis due to an ordinary
cold. OF such and kindred cases it
was said that they died OF old age.
Life, it was thought, had reached it's
natural limit; the body was worn out
in every part and went to pieces, as q
matter OF course. all at once, like the
deacons "one-horse shay" Now, as
a general thing, we might rs wei. say
that a child dies of infancy, when it's
mother does not suitably protect it.
The fact is every aye has its tendencies
and special exposures.
In old age the arteries lose their
elasticity and toughness, and readily
give way, especially those OF the brain
dnder whatever quickens the action of
the heart. The circulation, too, is
feeble, and slight chill is enough to
drive the blood back on the internal
organs, thus giving rise to various
congestions. Indeed, n common cold
is often much more dangerous to the
aged than smallpox to an adult, or
scarlet fever to child.
The recuperative power, also, is so
weakened in the aged as to make al
most any ordinary ailment serious
thing. The secretions are greatly les
sened, so that digestion, especially Of
meat, is much impaired, and the bow.
els tend to severe constipation, with
its grave evils.
Children, and all on whom the aged
depend, should not only understand,
but be alive to all this. Says Prot.
ii. c. Wood, NJ, d.. LII. d., in. the
Medical and Surgical Reporter:
"a large proportion of those who
are said to die from old age, really die
from the effects OF exposure, and it
must be remembered that the term
exposure is relative. What in ayoung
man may be nothing, may to an old
man be u serious matter.
zone OF the most perfect protec.
lions from cold is buckskin Jacket.
Nothing else will compare with it.
These patients must be guarded es.
pecially against exposure to wind
even more than against damp.
High winds chill the surface, OPP
press respiration, and are exceedingly
disastrous to the life OF any person
whose circulation is without power.
Stimulating food should be with.
drawn. Meat should 10 used but
sparlngly. Milk should bstin chfes

remember Sam Colt, as he was then
commonly called. and who at that
time was a struggling adventurer. He
had invented a torpedo and blown up
a small vessel off the Battery, but it
attracted but little attention. He also
had the model OF an improved pistol,
but this was not considered of much
value. He was very poor and could
hardly pay board bills, but in few
years aiterward he was q millionaire.

Russia's Political Police.
ON the st. Jamea's Gazette.

From the st. James's Gazette.
That the Russian political police
never iorgives is pretty well known.
Here is an illustration. In the year
1880 Stanislaus JaElonowski, the son
OF a Polish country gentleman, was
appointed from one OF the military
schools ut st. Petersburg to u COM
mission in u guards regiment. and
had leave to visit his home before
joining. While he was still with his
family the Polish instruction broke
out and the lad was ordered by his
father to join the insurgents. He did
So much against his own will las he
told me- his Russian military educa-
ton having somewhat bunted his
patriotism; but as his father threaten
ed him with the pateinal curse in case
of disobedence, he threw his lot with
the patriots. When in the following
year the instruction was extinruish-
ed, young JabIOnowski was fortunate
enough to escape through Wallachia
to Turkey, where he entered the regi-
ment OF Cossacks OF the guards then
chiefly composed OF Christians OF all
nationalities Differed by Poles, the
commander being Gen. Czaykowski
Pasha.) In this regiment he rose
gradually to the RINK OF adlutant
major; and left the service, infirm and
broken in health, about 1875, obtain
ing small berth of three or four
pounds month as assistant sur
veyor ofroads in the district OF Sliven.

and unfortunately for himself, elected
to stay in the town OF Sliven until
the entry of the Russians; never
dreaming that he would be punished
for having fought against the Russtans
forty-seven years previously. tBut
the police section OF the army which
occupied Slven brought with it seven
photographs OF persons who were
wanted" and among them was a
portrait OF Jablonowski taken six
years previously ut Adrianople. Al
though arrested, he was Mt first treat
ed very eniently, and invited daily to

but n few weeks afterwards orders
were received to convey him to the

allowed to sit on a baggage.wagon,

A Hitherto Unpublished Letter
From the Great Preacher to

Boston Letter in the New York Tribune.
The letter, which has never been
published, is as follows:
BROOKLYN, Nov. 0, 1s72.-My Dear
Mr.. Greeley: read your card in the
Tribune with sincere pleasure, and
congratulate myself and the cause OF
journalism on your return to field
in which you have won 80 much repu.
tation and where you have done such
service that the history OF America
cannot be written without including
as an important part of it your lie
and services.
You may think, amidst clouds OF
smoke and dust, that all your old
friends who parted company with you
in the late campaign will turn mo-
mentary difference into a lifelong ali
enation. 1t will not be SO. j speak
Tor myself, and also from what j per-
ceive in other mems hearts. Your
mere political influence may for n
time be impaired, but your own
power for good in the far wider
fields OF industrial economy, social
and civil criticism, and the general
well being OF society, will not be les
sened, but augmented. tits true that
hitherto the times called for warrior,
and such you were; yet cannot but
think with regret how much ability has
been spent by you that died with the
occasion, and which might have built
up positive and permanent elements.
But look upon your years to come
as likely to be more fruitful and IRA,
dated with n Kind and beneiicient
light, which will leave your name in
honor far greater than il you had
reached the highest office.
